Vaudeville Theatre, Grade II listed theatre on the Strand, London, United Kingdom.
The Vaudeville Theatre features a rectangular auditorium with 690 seats, decorated interiors, and preserved Victorian architectural elements throughout the building.
Architect Charles J. Phipps designed the original structure in 1870, which underwent two rebuilds while maintaining elements from previous constructions until its current form in 1926.
The theatre staged W.S. Gilbert's 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern' and Elizabeth Robins's direction of Ibsen's 'Hedda Gabler' during the late nineteenth century.
The venue opens its box office from noon until 8 PM on performance days, with convenient access from Charing Cross and Embankment underground stations.
The building retains historic stage mechanisms from its early days, including thunder drums and lightning sheets, demonstrating nineteenth-century theatrical technology.
